The soft scrape of the wood against the floor cut through the quiet between them. He rose slowly, not in a hurry, as if he already knew the room would wait for him.

Clara didn’t move.

She stood where she was beside the table, shoulders straight, chin slightly lifted. From the outside, she looked perfectly composed.

But the closer Matteo walked toward her, the harder it became to ignore the way the air shifted. He stopped a step away from her.

His presence wasn’t loud or aggressive, but it carr

    Clara didn’t move.For a second, the room blurred at the edges, her thoughts stalling completely. She hadn’t expected this. If anything, she’d expected Matteo to introduce her himself, control the narrative the way he controlled everything else.Not throwing her into it without warning.Her fingers curled slightly against the table as the weight of dozens of eyes settled on her. She could feel it, their curiosity, their quiet assessment.Then, softly Luca’s voice came, low and controlled.“Clara.”She blinked and looked up.Matteo’s gaze was already on her. Cold. Expectant and unyielding.No help was coming.Clara straightened slowly, pulling in a steady breath as she pushed down the flicker of irritation rising in her chest. If he wanted to test her, fine.She wouldn’t fail.She rose from her seat, smoothing her blouse instinctively before letting her hands rest lightly at her sides.“Good morning,” she began, her voice clear and composed. “My name is Clara Reynolds.”She paused brie

    Clara couldn’t look away from him.There was something different about Matteo this morning. Not just the coldness, that had always been there, but the intensity beneath it. It felt sharper, but barely controlled.Her chest tightened slightly as she studied him, her thoughts slipping before she could stop them.‘This version of him… was not the man she had walked up to at the bar. This was someone she would have avoided completely.’A quiet shift in the room pulled her back, but it was his voice that snapped her fully out of it.“Is that how competent you are?”The words landed flat and cold.Clara blinked, straightening instinctively as her attention locked on him.Matteo turned from the window, his gaze cutting straight through her. “With everything going on, you don’t pick your calls. You don’t respond to messages.”Her lips parted slightly. “My phone was on…”He didn’t let her finish.“How many minutes?” he asked, already looking past her.Luca glanced at his watch without hesitati

    The elevator doors slid open, and Clara stepped out with Luca beside her.They walked in silence toward the underground garage, the echo of their footsteps bouncing faintly against the concrete walls. Clara’s thoughts were still tangled, looping back to the urgency in Luca’s voice and the weight behind Matteo’s sudden demand.‘Something wasn’t right.’When they reached the parking area, Clara angled toward her car automatically, fishing her keys out of her bag.“I’ll follow you,” she said, already moving.“Wait.”Luca’s voice stopped her.She turned, brows slightly drawn. “What?”“You’ll ride with me,” he said, nodding toward a sleek black sports car parked a few spaces away. “We’ll get there faster.”Clara glanced at the car, then back at him. For a second, she considered arguing. But the tension pressing at the back of her mind made the decision for her.“…Fine.”They walked over together, and Luca unlocked the car with a soft click. The door lifted slightly as she pulled it open, r

    The door creaked open wider, and both Clara and Mark turned at the same time.Luca stood at the entrance, composed as ever, his sharp gaze taking in the scene in a single sweep. His presence filled the room effortlessly, calm yet authoritative in a way that made the air shift instantly.Clara recovered first.“Mark,” she said, her tone clipped, stepping away from him. “You should leave now. I have work to do.”Mark hesitated, clearly thrown off by the interruption. His eyes flicked to Luca, scanning him from head to toe.“And who exactly is this?” he asked, a defensive edge creeping into his voice.Luca didn’t answer. He simply held Mark’s gaze, steady and unreadable. It was enough.Whatever Mark had been about to say died in his throat. He shifted slightly, rubbing the side of his face where Clara had slapped him earlier. The confidence he walked in with was gone, replaced with something smaller and uncertain.He looked back at Clara. “This conversation isn’t over.”Clara didn’t resp

    Clara’s body went still the moment she saw who stood at the door.Mark.For a second, the shock hit first. It froze her in place, her fingers tightening slightly against her side. Then it faded just as quickly, replaced by something sharper. Anger.Her eyes hardened.Behind her, Tara leaned slightly to the side, trying to get a clearer look. When she saw him, her brows shot up.“Why is he at the office?” she asked, her voice low but edged with disbelief.Clara exhaled slowly, forcing her shoulders to relax even though irritation was already building in her chest.“I don’t know,” she replied, her tone tight.She stepped forward anyway. Avoiding him wasn’t an option.Clara reached for the handle, took in a quiet breath, and pulled the door open wider.Mark didn’t hesitate. He stepped inside like he belonged there.“I need to talk to you,” he said, his voice urgent, his eyes fixed on her like she was the only thing that mattered.Clara shut the door behind him, her expression unreadable.

    Tara scoffed, the sound sharp and disbelieving.“Really?” she asked, leaning back in her chair, arms crossing tightly over her chest. “You want to play dumb with me?”Clara held her gaze for a second.‘She knew. Of course she knew.’ She thought.But she didn’t say anything. Tara didn’t wait.She grabbed her phone, unlocked it quickly, and shoved the screen toward Clara.The photo. That same photo of her kissing Matteo.Clara’s chest tightened instantly. Without thinking, she reached for Tara’s wrist and pulled her up.“Come with me.”Tara barely had time to react before Clara was already dragging her across the office floor. A few curious glances followed them, but Clara ignored all of it.She pushed open her office door, pulled Tara inside, and shut it firmly behind them. The click echoed.Tara turned to face her immediately.“Clara,” she started, her voice dropping slightly but still edged with frustration. “Why am I just finding out that you’re the person in that picture?”Clara ex
